    I hated Windows 11 because:

    • Constant Telemetry
    • Hogs resources. Examples include: Using 1/3 of my 1TB SSD and 1/2 of 16GB of DDR5 RAM
    • Tons of vulnerabilities, several that remain unaddressed
    • Forced updates
    • The UI and start menu is hideous, search immediately searches Bing instead of my system for an app

    I love Fedora 39 because:

    • No telemetry, optional anonymous bug reporting
    • Uses only 50GB of my 1TB SSD and 1.6GB of 16GB of DDR5 RAM on the OS plus GNOME
    • Vulnerabilities continue to be patched through kernel updates (currently up to 6.7.7 on Fedora)
    • I get to choose when to update my system
    • I like my riced UI, the application menu is clean and search searches for apps on my system first with perfect accuracy

    Did I prove my point?

      I generally agree with your sentiment but I’m calling bullshit on a 300gb install. I work in a computer repair shop and load win11 more than 10x a week. Stock install with 23h2 and all updates, even with a GPU (big driver) is always under 50gb. A loaded down version of Pro with hyper V and a bunch of other shit including office is never even 60gb.

      And unused RAM is wasted RAM. I have seen win11 run on 2gb ddr3. As you ask for more RAM, it will unload and make space for the new request.

      And yes, I daily Linux and generally prefer it.

        Personally I rather have the RAM left over for the applications to use up front, instead of the OS taking it all and then begrudgingly letting some of it go when asked.
